Oh, CC, it's amazing to have you back here with a story!

And what a story it was! Oh, wow. The very idea of Lois - er, Lisa - and Chip Klark (now that name should go down in history!!) taking out a second mortgage to be able to pay for and fill shopping cart after shopping cart with their purchase of thousands of handmade Superman briefs, with Lois's name beaded on the back on them with genuine crystals from Angora.... CC, you're killing me!!! It was fabulous!!! clap

Woo-hoo! I'm a hero! Do I get something for that? An award?

I do? Ooo, it's a box! I wonder what's in it!

It's bright. Very bright. And that looks kind of sparkly. Cool! And it's...

A pair of red briefs.

Thanks, guys. You shouldn't have.

Really.

But, er, anyway...

laugh

(Though I was briefly hoping that there would be other super heroes... Never mind.)

But, wait... you're telling me they bought all those briefs, and they're never going to use them?? Or maybe they do, but I'm just looking in the wrong folder...

And hey!! I want to see where they tell Martha!

And where Martha sheepishly explains that there aren't many people who do hand-made briefs and uhm... Thanks for the influx of cash, but does this mean she should stop?

Or maybe not.

(But someone should tell her that those stones on the inside sound awfully uncomfortable...)

"Dessert before the..." laugh

But... uhm... "too rediculous"?? Okay, who told you there was such a thing? I want names!!

So, uhm, what I'm trying to say is... that was a really fun laugh out loud story! Thanks for posting!!

Paul

Still cherishing fond memories of last week...


When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

You won't believe me if I say I loved every word, will you? Which is a shame, really, because it's true. Call me a crazy groupie, but I love every word you write. In fact, if you happen to notice some tall brunette someday going through your recycle bin and stealing your discarded scraps of fic, pay her no mind...

*cough*

So, as I was saying...

I'm going against my usual MO here and I'm not going to "comment as I go" because... well, first off, I was laughing too hard - seriously, laptop kept trying to slide off my lap when I was half doubled over, then there was the knee-slapping and the hand clapping over the mouth. (Hmm... maybe you should put a warning on the story: Caution - Reading may involve rigorous exercise). Anyway, the other reason is that I'd really have to quote everything, or damn near, at least.

I will, however, quote one little bit:

Quote
“What are you going to tell her?” he heard a voice suspiciously like his own ask.

Rats.

It was his voice. Not that it meant anything. He was a reporter. He asked things. Investigated stuff...
Classic CC Stuff! You ought to trademark it, really.

Oh, and while I'm here... just wanted to say thank you because I'd been DYING for another CC fic. drool So... when's the next story, eh?? grovel

Sara (who apologises for the non-sensical rambling, but hopes she got her point* across)

*The point: CC ROCKS!!!!!

CC, this is absolutely hysterical. rotflol I just so love your Lois - and Clark, too, of course laugh - but especially Lois. She just cracks me up.

You can give us all the FLAN you want if it's as funny as this. wink

Oh my goodness! rotflol You owe me a new monitor. And, just so you know, Diet Pepsi through the nose hurts. A lot.

That had me laughing so hard I cried. Just... awesome. I wish I could write comedy like that. To me, it's one of the hardest things to write and, most importantly, write well.

The bit that Dave quoted was my favorite part. And this:

Quote
“Uh... no,” said Clark faintly. “We didn’t. Know that. That is.” And then he fell silent, lost in implications he just... didn’t care to be lost in. At all.
*rotfl* There were really too many great lines and paragraphs to quote them all.

Please tell me there's more where that came from.

ROFL--this is a riot!!!! I *really* had to crack up at this part:

Quote
“Hey,” he said, on the heels of that thought. “I understand what we’re doing here, but what about everyone else? Why on earth would all these people need--?”

“Halloween parties!” Lois’s face was suddenly burning as red as the horrid shade on her head. “Ok? It’s all for Halloween. And I don’t think we should dwell on any other possibilities.”

“Deal,” he vowed, getting the picture. “I won’t. Halloween is... a big holiday. People really... enjoy it.”

I don't wander into the Challenge Folder very often. Big mistake. Huge. I'm glad I happened by today...

To get CC to post a new story...Paul, I'm down on bended knee thanking you for this truly excellent challenge.

Now to dust off my newly-polished CC button...
[Linked Image]

This is, not surprisingly, terrific stuff. I've been trying to figure out what part(s) to quote, and I just want to cite everything as favorite moments! So since I have to quote something - because I almost always quote something - let me choose...hmm...this wonderful moment:

Quote
“I do know, you overgrown Boy Scout. You leave us no choice. We’re buying them. Even if we have to take out a second mortgage!”

“A second…?” He dropped the pile he was holding. “Have you lost your mind? We can’t afford that. Let’s just…take a deep breath. Get some perspective. We are talking about underwear here. Underwear! It’s nothing…”

“Easy for you to say! You’re not the one whose name is splashed across it. In sparkly, shimmering, glittering for the entire world to see, letters!”

“Easy for me to say! Easy for me? Whose backside are these things meant to be on? I thought I was Superman, but it turns out I’m just a pair of cheeks. A kinky, flashing, flying billboard!”

“So we’re agreed. A second mortgage. And the names and numbers of every last person who has ever purchased a pair.”
This was just fabulous. Filled with the kind of humor that we love in a CC story, terrific L&C banter, and a number of ellipses for those of us who love them.

I adored it all...

Kathy (who unfortunately can picture Clark as a blonde, since Dean bleached his hair for a movie a few months ago, and I DON'T agree with Lois that he would look good as a blonde. Good thing that there were no desperate cries for help while they were at the store...)

Ahahaha! What a riot. And the only place I can laugh is inside this little white box because I'm hanging out with my roommate right now, and she'll think I'm on crack. Well, she already thinks that so why add fuel to the fire right now. Man "Lois Lane" stitched onto the butt was just the last thing I expected! lol

Oh dear, snicker...snort, oh my, I really shouldn't have read this at work. Where's my ibruprofen? My sides hurt now from trying to hold back hysterical laughter so my workmates wouldn't think I was insane.

Ha ha ha! This was great CC! Thanks for the laugh! rotflol

I have a new appreciation for flan. laugh

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

I think I've finally read everything over at the archive, so I decided to see what was over here that I hadn't read. I had to de-lurk to comment on this story. It is Absolutely Hilarious!!! Fantastic work. I perhaps should have refrained from reading this while at work, but I'm used to getting strange looks anyway.

Great story!!
